Senate Resolutions SR 20-01 September 9, 2019 BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that University Senate endorse proposed revisions to the ByLaws of University Senate, 6.B.12.a, regarding Committee composition and membership of the Council for Undergraduate Curriculum.
SR 20-01 was unanimously approved by voice vote.
SR 20-02 September 23, 2019 BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that University Senate endorse proposed revisions to the ByLaws of University Senate, 6.C.7, regarding Committee composition and membership of the International Education Committee.
SR 20-02 was unanimously approved by voice vote.
SR 20-03 October 7, 2019 BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that an ad-hoc committee be appointed by Senate Executive Committee to reconsider the NOTIFICATION OF POLICE REPORTS, ARRESTS, CRIMINAL CHARGES AND INDICTMENTS Policy originally approved by Senate on April 22, 2019 and to make a recommendation to University Senate about further necessary actions.

SR 20-03 was approved by voice vote with two Nay votes.
SR 20-04 November 18, 2019 BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the university senate seeks to act proactively in the strategic planning implementation process by requesting that each of the new or repurposed Senate committees tasked with implementing any of the strategic priorities pertaining to curriculum include, ideally, at least 2 senators (at least 1 in their first or second year as a senator) to serve as senate liaisons. The primary functions of the senate liaisons on the committees are: 1) to share their expertise in the content area foci of the appointed committees and 2) to communicate thoroughly, efficiently, substantively, and in a deliberative way the progress (or not) directly to the senate over the course of each committee’s work.
We also request that, where feasible, committees charged with implementing strategic priorities recommendations pertaining to curriculum contain at least six elected members (one from each academic division). These elected committee members need not be senators, but if they are senators, they may also serve in the role of senate liaisons. The primary function of the elected members of committees would be: 1) to share their expertise in the content area foci of the appointed committees and 2) to serve as elected representatives for their divisions who communicate with their divisions their committee's implementations of strategic priorities pertaining to curriculum.
Finally, all committees engaged in the implementation of the strategic priorities goals pertaining to curriculum would operate under the guidance of University Senate Executive Committee, which would work with the committees to organize and execute the work.
Our intent is to operationalize both the spirit and the practice of shared governance, as a leadership body charged with decision-making and communication of Miami’s new directions that emerge from the strategic planning processes of 2018-2019.
SR 20-04 was approved by voice vote with one abstention. Pending December 16, 2019 SR 20-05 November 4, 2019 BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that University Senate endorse the proposed degree, Bachelor of Science in Business, with a major in Business Analytics, Farmer School of Business;

Edith Lui Secretary for Academic Affairs Associated Student Government [email protected]
TO: Board of Trustees Academic/Student Affairs Committee FROM: Edith Lui DATE SUBMITTED: December 2, 2019
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board,
And just like that, another semester has come and gone. While this semester seemed to fly by, it may have been one of Associated Student Government’s most successful semesters; our senators and secretaries have worked day in and day out on initiatives to enact positive change and meaningful change on campus through representing our undergraduate student population. In full this semester, ASG senators conducted 178 hours of tabling, made 65 student organization visits, and attended 71 multicultural-type events. Even before the first day of classes, we already had several initiatives in mind, and many have come to fruition. Here’s just a few of our notable accomplishments to date:
Senators Shelby Frye and Ben Waugh, along with Secretary Effie Fraley, worked throughout the semester to create a “Meal Swipe Donation Program” in partnership with the Student Success Center (SSC). The goal of this program is to allow students who have additional swipes left over donate them to the SSC, where staff members will further be able to give the swipes to food insecure students in need of assistance. This program was piloted the week before Thanksgiving Break, since most students would be leaving by the Tuesday of the week and were expected to have an excess of swipes left over. In total, we collected 9,276 swipes from 1,470 students, which goes to show the great philanthropic spirit by students on our campus.
Each semester, our Secretary of Finance, Will Hoffman, and Secretary of the Treasury, Colin O’Sullivan, work in conjunction to allocate funds to our 600+ student organizations on campus through the Red Brick Rewards program. The Red Brick Rewards program aims to keep student organizations accountable and responsible with their budgeting of funds given to them by the university; organizations are placed into tiers as they fulfill different requirements in order to attain different types of rewards. Over this last semester, we were able to allocate $403,366.11 to student organizations, funded over 150 organizations, and actively engaged with students organizations through both countless meetings and over 400 email correspondences.
Our Secretary for Infrastructure and Sustainability, Antonio Lim, created the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC). The goal of this committee is to spread sustainability awareness and creating programming for upcoming semesters, which include educational forums and speakers. In addition, Secretary Lim is working alongside Secretary Lui to promote and encourage the implementation of sustainability into our general curriculum.
Senators Trey Petrella and Ben Waugh have worked throughout this semester to waive the fee for staying in the residence halls until noon the following day, an accommodation several other Ohio schools offer to their students. This is in an effort to allow students additional time to move out of their rooms prior to Winter and Spring break in the case that they have examinations on the last day of classes and to aid with any travel plans or economic reasons that they must stay a day longer.
Senator Shelby Frye and former Senator Gaby Meissner worked since our last academic year to implement satellite Student Counseling Services across campus. The goal is to provide easy and free access to drop-in counseling services where students can consult a trained mental health professional in a
Overall Page 7 of 334 Attachment Page 6 of 20 Update Reports Attachment A Senate, ASG, GSA December 12, 2019
convenient setting. Here, students who are unsure about counseling will also be able to “test” out the option.
Secretary of Safety, Ben Mitsch, and the Safety Committee held events in conjunction of the Fall “It’s On Us Week,” such as holding a showing of ‘The Hunting Grounds’ and tabling for pledge signatures. They hope to continue the effort into the Spring “It’s On Us” Week with additional events.
Secretary of Diversity and Inclusion. Brandon Small, and his committee held the 2019 Inclusion Forum, titled “The Voices of Love and Honor,” at the end of September. This event aims to bring together diverse voices and students leaders of Miami to provide insight and on different cultural prospectives.
Finally, our Secretary of Communications, Chloe Sassan, and Secretary of Alumni Relations, Julia Koenig, have both worked hard to create recurring newsletters to distribute to both our students and our alumni via email and on our ASG website. I attached the most recent editions of both newsletters.
As we close out our 2019 Fall semester, I would like to share a sneak peak of a few pieces of our preliminary 2020 vision with all of you:
• We hope to host another successful Mental Health Forum; • Conduct a lighting audit of the placement of lights on campus and “blackout” areas to address some safety concerns; • Bring Rave Guardian, an app promoting safety and emergency resources, to the student body; • Diversity in the classroom: I am currently working with my fellow Secretary for Diversity and Inclusion, Brandon Small, as well as Senator Ben Finfrock on efforts to bring more diversity into both the classroom and in student recruitment efforts; • Though we understand space is limited across campus, we hope to work towards creating satellite locations for the Rinella Learning Center to help accommodate the rapid growth of the campus resource; • Several of our members on a mission to implement a Free Menstrual Hygiene Product program in hopes to provide these products to those in need and to make them accessible on campus; and • ASG is hoping to hosting a Town Hall for students and to actively outreaching to our constituents in each one of our districts in order to get to know the needs and concerns of our student population better.
I hope you all have a happy holiday season and I am eager to continue working through the January term and into the Spring semester.
Love and Honor,
Edith Lui ASG Secretary for Academic Affairs

OCTOBER REFLECTION
Reflecting on October — We extended the Student Trustee search and will be starting interviews this month for the selection of one Student Trustee. Green Week was successful and the I&S Committee is working on initiatives related to recycling education, single use plastic, and carbon neutrality. It’s On Us week focused on educating students about bystander intervention, consent education, and survivor support; as a student body, we need to continue these conversations in order to see necessary change to our campus culture. The Governmental Relations Committee, chaired by Cecilia Comerford, talked to representatives during the visit to the Statehouse in Columbus.
Our Senators have been working diligently on developing their initiatives and making them a reality. The most recent piece of legislation passed was authored by Senator Stephens, A Resolution to Support the Naming of Lounge Spaces After the Freedom Summer 1964 Rights Activists. Secretary Stephens stated, "the resolution to rename the lounge spaces of Hillcrest, Stonebridge, and Beechwood Hall after Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman is an extraordinary step towards Miami University's advancement of civil rights and the honoring of marginalized communities. If Miami University seeks to promote cross-cultural awareness and inclusivity then this must also be reflective in our buildings, lounge spaces, and classrooms. Diversifying the student body is one initiative but surrounding our diverse students with history and artwork that appropriately represents them is another".
If you have any concerns or ideas about initiatives we should be working on - don't hesitate to reach out and let us know! Please submit your questions, comments, and concerns to your Student Senator, email a Cabinet member, or stop by our office in ASC 2012!

It's On Us Reflection
The fall week of action for It’s On Us was largely a success; not only on Miami’s campus but also nationwide. The week of October 21st was meant to strengthen the nation’s resolve against the ongoing sexual assault epidemic on college campuses. This initiative was founded by the Obama administration in 2014 and has since become a non-profit with the goal to bring awareness to some of our nation’s most pressing challenges. This is done by equipping college campuses across the country with the skills and tools necessary to combat sexual assault and change the campus culture. This issue directly affects the 11.2% of estimated students who experience sexual assault or rape, but also the community in which they are supposed to be enjoying and thriving in. Sexual assaults destroy people’s lives and it is inexcusable that they still occur in any capacity. One such tool is properly deploying bystander intervention tactics to disrupt any sketchy situations or potential assaults in progress while other tools address consent education and survivor support.
The week of action began with Pumpkin Painting, followed by T-Shirt Tuesday, the Hunting Grounds Screening, It’s On Us themed Women’s Soccer Game, and a Halloween party hosted by the League of Geeks. The Associated Student Government hosted both tabling in Armstrong and the Hunting Ground Screening. Through tabling, a considerable portion of the Miami student body took the It’s On Us pledge and wore their t-shirt standing against sexual assault. In addition, I learned many valuable lessons to continue working on, while leading up to the It’s On Us spring week of action. We will continue to look forward and continue these conversations about reforming the culture at Miami while working to spread the campaign against sexual assault and interpersonal violence.

Swipe Donation Program
NOVEMBER 1 8 - 2 2 & 2 5
We first began working on this initiative last spring semester. We were doing research into how we could help students at Miami who were food insecure, a problem that most students might not realize even exists. Miami gets the reputation of being a school where most of its students are affluent, but food insecurity is something that too many students in ourX community face. LEGISLATION In combating this issue, we thought that it made sense to focus on all of the swipes that go unused every week from students who have a meal plan so that students who are food insecure can simply tap their card and access the dining hall just like anyone else.
This November, students passing by a table in Armstrong will be able to donate up to 7 unused swipes for the week of Thanksgiving that will go into a pot of swipes that can be accessed to create a meal plan for students who are food insecure.

What We're Up To!
IN THE WORKS LEGISLATION In this section, we would like to highlight legislation that has been passed, but is not yet official within the University. When projects are in the works, Senators will meet with administration and come to terms on final details. They can bring the approved legislation from ASG to show that there is strong student support behind this initiative.
SB192002 - A Resolution to Extend the Fee for Closing of Dorms Authors: Trey Petrella & Ben Waugh
This legislation supports an option to waive the fee charged to students when they stay in the residence halls after 7pm on the start of Winter & Spring break. The fee would be waived until the following day at noon, thus giving working parents and students with late afternoon exams plenty of time to exit the dorms without a fee.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
IMPLIMENTED PROJECTS
Here is our chance to get in a humble brag or two. Accomplishments are always being made with ASG, but this section will focus on impacts and changes made to the university by our Senators and Cabinet Members.
CAMPUS CARE Campus Care is a program that provides students quick, informal and confidential counseling. Staff from the Student Counseling Service have drop-in hours at several sites around campus. The hope is that these brief free sessions serve students who are unsure about counseling and want to feel it out.

December 12, 2019 Report to the Board of Trustees, Academic and Student Affairs Committee, By the Graduate Student Association
Hello, ladies and gentlemen of the Board of Trustees. The semester has flown by and the Executive Board of the Graduate Student Association (GSA) has been hard at work.
The role of the GSA is to advocate for and encourage graduate students in their academic and personal endeavors. The Executive Board has two major projects in their early stages to help accomplish these goals. The projects will take the form of creating committees from the body of GSA department representatives to strengthen two important processes essential to the semester-to-semester functioning of graduate student government. The Executive Board wants to ensure that its rules and procedures are sustainable across semesters and across the change in academic year calendars. In addition to continuity in governance broadly speaking, we also want to ensure that the process of applying for and distributing travel funds to graduate students is sustainable. Issues of both governance and the awarding of travel funds are vital to the smooth transition of Executive Boards in both the near and distant future. Our hope is that the establishment of these committees on governance and the travel fund will accomplish these goals.
The Executive Board plans to continue to improve the experience of graduate students outside our academic roles. We sponsored two social events this semester for Miami’s graduate students, with the most recent being November 15th in Uptown Oxford. We were very pleased with our turnout for each event. Each succeeded in opening up graduate social life beyond individual departments, helping to establish channels of communication among different graduate student populations. As the semester winds down, the Executive Board is hard at work planning our next social event to help foster greater community between graduate students. Additionally, as the next semester starts up, the Executive Board plans to reach out to the Associated Student Government (ASG) to begin to build a stronger working relationship between the undergraduate and graduate student governments. We have in mind strengthening existing communication channels, but we also want to ensure there are avenues for graduate students to become more involved in campus events. Overall, this year, the Executive Board will continue to strengthen its role as a unifying voice for graduate students. We will continue to increase our visibility across the university and surrounding community.
By engaging with the Board of Trustees and filling university-wide committee seats with graduate student representatives from all programs, we want our presence to enrich and inform decision-making and academic life at Miami. We will continue to work with our partners in the Dean’s Office of the Graduate School, University Senate, and the Board of Trustees to enhance the impact that graduate students have at the university, increase the sense of graduate student community, and improve graduate student wellness. I am pleased to keep you informed on our activities and progress. I am proud to represent the graduate students of Miami University as president of the GSA.

Thank you for your time and for the continued interest of the Board of Trustees in the graduate student community. We look forward to the next meeting.

Social Media Recommendations
● Grow our follower base across all channels. ● Find platforms and ways to engage our male demographic. ● Define calls to action for various types of posts. This will enable us to better report on goals. ● Review the tag categories, update them to reflect content goals and tag content regularly. ● Quality over quantity for Instagram stories. Use new Instagram story metrics to define strategy and better monitor story engagement. ● Develop a YouTube strategy. Our channel lacks the consistency of our competitors - in particular OSU. (Our top 5 videos are 2+ years old.) ● Review Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram content and posting strategies. We post substantially more on Instagram but receive better engagement rates on Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, a disproportionate amount of posts are dedicated to Convocation/Commencement and Campus Beauty. These posts do not drive high click through rates. A more balanced content strategy may need to be developed. ● We currently do not utilize Facebook stories or IGTV. These could be features that help engage the 18-24 year old audience who is on Facebook and Instagram but is not interacting with us.

To: Board of Trustees From: Dean Liz Mullenix Re: Official name change for new IMS Department
With this memo, I formally request approval to change the name of the Department of Interactive Media Studies (newly created in the Fall of 2019) to Emerging Technology in Business and Design (ETBD). Approval for the new Department was conferred both by the University Senate and by the Board of Trustees in the Spring of 2019.
Rationale: The term “interactive media studies” no longer captures the true nature of the programming in this burgeoning Department, for students’ core curriculum is focused on three areas: technology (front end development), entrepreneurship, and design. The new name will better communicate the Department’s mission, which is to explore both the intersection of tech/design/business and the ways in which digital technology can transform traditional areas of inquiry. Moreover, the new name will be easier for students to understand, thus attracting more potential majors to the program.
Context: The programs in IMS/ETBD came out of curriculum developed by the Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies (AIMS), an institute exploring the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and design. All programming to emerge from AIMS was intended to be transdisciplinary, a principle that remains foundational for IMS/ETBD. What started as one class soon became programs with large numbers of students. The programs grew up outside of a typical departmental structure, beginning with a minor and co-major administrated by the College of Arts and Science followed by a major administered by the College of Creative Arts. In the Fall of 2017, the minor and co-major were transferred to the CCA for administration in addition to the major. In the Summer of 2017 an E&G budget and a personnel budget were created from RCM revenue from IMS and approved by the University. Student enrollment in IMS>ETBD programs as of October 23, 2019 is as follows: primary majors=397, secondary majors= 56, co-majors=92, IMS minors=174, Games minors=27. Total students in IMS programs is 746.

Miami University | Proposal to Establish a [Bachelor of Science in Business] in [Business Analytics] | Page 6
The proposed program is an existing track within an existing major. The ISA-Business Analytics track has a healthy enrollment. The name, however, is confusing to students. To be more student centered and to attract more students into our outstanding program, we wish to change the name to better reflect our curriculum.
Indicate whether the institution performed a needs assessment/market analysis to determine a need for the program. If so, briefly describe the results of those findings. If completed, submit the full analysis as an appendix item.
We do not need a market analysis for this program because it is an existing program within the Farmer School of Business. We are proposing only to rename the existing ISA-Business Analytics track as the Business Analytics Major within the Farmer School of business to give the major more visibility and to help clarify the skillset of the graduates.
Indicate whether the institution consulted with advisory groups, business and industry, or other experts in the development of the proposed program. If so, briefly describe the involvement of these groups in the development of the program.
In the original development and evolution of the ISA programs, the ISA department consulted closely with industry through its advisory board and through its participation in the Center for Analytics and Data Science. The curriculum is informed through these ongoing relationships.
Indicate whether the proposed program was developed to align with the standards of a specialized or programmatic accreditation agency. If so, indicate whether the institution plans to pursue programmatic/specialized accreditation for the proposed program and provide a timeline for achieving such accreditation. If the program is already accredited, indicate the date that accreditation was achieved and provide information on the next required review.
The Farmer School of Business is accredited through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). As an existing track within the ISA major, the proposed Business Analytics major is compliant with AACSB standards.
4.3 Collaboration with other Ohio institutions
Indicate whether any institution within a 30-mile radius of your institution offers the proposed program. If so, list the institutions that offer the proposed program, and provide a rationale for offering an additional program at this site.
There is no school within a 30-mile radius that offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Analytics.
Indicate whether the proposed program was developed in collaboration with another institution in Ohio. If so, briefly describe the involvement of each institution in the development of this request and the delivery of the program.
The program was not developed in collaboration with another school in Ohio.

SECTION 5: STUDENT SERVICES
5.1 Admissions policies and procedures

Students must be admitted to the Farmer School of Business in order to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Business with a major in Business Analytics.
Miami University has policies and procedures in place to recognize transfer courses appropriately and provide equity in the treatment of incoming transfer students and students native to the receiving institution. Transfer credit will be accepted for all successfully completed college-level courses completed in and after Fall 2005 from Ohio public institutions of higher education. Most college level courses taken fall term 2010 or after at regionally accredited institutions across the United States will be transferable to Miami University if the student earns a grade of D- or better. Prior to fall term 2015, credit earned on a pass/fail basis, credit/no-credit basis, etc., is also transferable if it can be determined the student earned a C or better. All credits earned at two-year institutions can transfer only as introductory or lower division (typically 100 and 200 level) credit, except that a course taken at the lower division level which bears the same title as an upper division course at Miami will be considered equivalent if validated by the division and/or department in which the course has applicability. Miami also has many courses that may be transferred according to the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG), Career Technical Credit Transfer (CT2), Guaranteed Transfer Pathways, Military Transfer Assurance Guides, and One-Year Option initiatives; and other types of transfer credit awarded toward major program requirements (e.g., AP, life experience, CLEP, portfolio, etc.). For more information, see: http://bulletin.miamioh.edu/admission-undergraduate-students/transfer-student/#text
Commensurate with policies at Miami University and the Farmer School of Business, TAG approved courses will be accepted for transfer credit. To our knowledge, the only TAG approved courses are currently prerequisites to courses in the proposed program.
5.2 Student administrative services
Indicate whether the student administrative services (e.g., admissions, financial aid, registrar, etc.) currently available at the institution are adequate to support the program. If new or expanded services will be needed, describe the need and provide a timeline for acquiring/implementing such services.
Currently available services are adequate to serve the proposed program.
5.3 Student academic services
Indicate whether the student academic services (e.g., career services, counseling, tutoring, ADA, etc.) currently available at the institution are adequate to support the program. If new or expanded services will be needed, describe the need and provide a timeline for acquiring/implementing such services.
Existing student academic services are adequate to support the program.

SECTION 6: CURRICULUM
6.1 Introduction
Provide a brief description of the proposed program as it would appear in the institution’s catalog (General Bulletin). The description should be no more than 150 words.
The Business Analytics major provides the managerial and technical skills to leverage data for decision making in an organization. The major focuses on the use of data to guide evidence-based decision-making. Analytics combines numerous traditional disciplines including information systems and statistics. This major provides a framework for the collection and use of data; for analyzing structured and unstructured data; and for developing models to describe and predict behavior in data-rich environments.
6.2 Program goals and learning objectives
The stated student learning outcomes (SLO) from the program are 1. Identify and frame data-related business problems and opportunities using analytical methods. 2. Describe how data are collected, stored, retrieved, analyzed, and communicated to direct data-driven decision making. 3. Gather, store, and preprocess data to produce data sets for analytical purposes. 4. Apply appropriate methods for data analysis including descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive models. 5. Effectively communicate the results of a data analysis to stakeholders.
These objectives will be operationalized throughout the curriculum as much of the course work will use data from industry and other sources to frame problems, analyze relevant data and present results. Here are several examples of the types of activities prevalent throughout the program.
1. In ISA 491 students will do a real-world data analysis project where they frame a business problem analytically, apply predictive modeling to execute the project, and then communicate the results.
2. In ISA 321 through a real-world data analysis project where students will apply prescriptive modeling to a business problem and present results. 3. In ISA 401 through specific hands-on data analysis exercises where the collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, and communication of analysis are practiced.

SECTION 7: ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
7.1 Program assessment
Assessment efforts are directed by the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness. Because of the accreditation standards of the Higher Learning Commission, each department and program at Miami University is required to implement a full cycle assessment program for each undergraduate major, general education, free-standing certificates, and all graduate programs.
Each major or degree program specifies at least three learning outcomes to assess. Each year, data are collected and analyzed related to the outcomes and used for program improvement. When beginning the process of assessment for the first time, departments and programs create an assessment plan for each degree program or major. Annually or biennially, the assessment data for the three or more learning outcomes are analyzed and discussed and plans for improving teaching and learning based upon those findings are put in place. The summary of the data collected, the analysis and the steps for improvement are recorded in an assessment report which is submitted each year. Plans and reports are reviewed annually annually by the Office of Institutional Research & Institutional Effectiveness and once every 6 years by a committee in the academic division.
Is your program externally accredited? If yes, does the external body require the program to do direct assessment of student work showing student achievement of your stated learning outcomes? If so, please provide a copy of the assessment requirements/plan to the Office of Institutional Research & Institutional Effectiveness. If not, please answer all the following questions:
• List at least 3 specific student learning outcomes (SLOs) that the students are expected to achieve by the time they complete the program. If the program includes liberal education course(s), articulate any specific linkages between your stated SLOs and Miami Plan principles or competencies.
1. Identify and frame data-related business problems and opportunities using analytical methods. 2. Describe how data are collected, stored, retrieved, analyzed, and communicated to direct data-driven decision making. 3. Gather, store, and preprocess data to produce data sets for analytical purposes. 4. Apply appropriate methods for data analysis including descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive models. 5. Effectively communicate the results of a data analysis to stakeholders.
• Identify courses (and examinations or assignments within them) or other culminating projects where these outcomes are emphasized and can be measured, especially near the point of graduation. If relevant, specify any licensing or external exams you intend to use.
Overall Page 79 of 334 Attachment Page 15 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
Miami University | Proposal to Establish a [Bachelor of Science in Business] in [Business Analytics] | Page 12
SLO #1, 4, and 5 will be assessed in ISA 491 through a real-world data analysis project where students frame a business problem analytically, apply predictive modeling to the project, and communicate the results. SLO #5 will also be assessed through ISA 321 through a real-world data analysis project where students apply prescriptive modeling to a business problem. SLO#2 and #3 will be assessed in ISA 401 through specific hands-on data analysis exercises where the collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, and communication of analysis are practiced.
• Describe how you intend to evaluate the learning outcomes by means of the assignment(s)—e.g., rubric(s), scoring guides, or answer key(s) to exam.
A rubric will be developed for the assignments in ISA 491, 321, and 401 that will assess each of the SLO's.
• Describe the sampling procedure. What percentage of your student body will comprise your sample? If the sample size is small, make the case that they adequately represent the whole.
At least 10% of the student assignments will be sampled at random, and at least two faculty members will assess the assignments according to the developed rubric.
• Describe how you intend to collect student perceptions of their achievement of the program learning outcomes.
We will include additional questions on the end-of-semester evaluations that address student perceptions of learning outcomes.
• Describe your plans for regular (annual or biennial, depending on program size) collection and summary of data.
We assess and summarize the data at least annually.
• Describe your plans for a regular faculty meeting in which faculty discuss assessment data findings and make plans for improvement of teaching and learning based upon the data. All faculty teaching the particular course will be initially involved in discussing the findings and proposing plans for reacting to the results. The findings and the plans will be presented to the department at a department meeting.
• Identify who will be responsible for creating and submitting an annual assessment report to the assessment coordinator at the end of each academic year.
The department assessment coordinator will be responsible for coordinating all assessment efforts in the department.
7.2 Other means of measuring student success
In addition to program assessment, describe the other ways that individual student success in the proposed program will be measured (e.g., exit interviews, job placement, alumni
Overall Page 80 of 334 Attachment Page 16 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
Miami University | Proposal to Establish a [Bachelor of Science in Business] in [Business Analytics] | Page 13
surveys). Describe the measurements to be used, frequency of data collection and how the results will be shared and used for program improvement.
The Miami University Student Success Committee with the support of The Office of the Provost and the Office of Institutional Research and Institutional Effectiveness guides and implements the university's student success evaluation and assessment. Student success is measures through national surveys and projects (e.g., the National Survey of Student Engagement, CIRP Freshman survey, Collegiate Learning Assessment, College Senior Survey, Your First College Year, HERI Faculty Survey, Faculty Survey of Student Engagement, and the Voluntary System of Accountability) as well as in-house graduate survey and alumni survey.
SECTION 8: FACULTY
8.1 Faculty appointment policies
Describe the faculty designations available (e.g., professor, associate professor, adjunct, instructor, clinical, etc.) for the proposed program's faculty. In your response, define/describe the differences between the designations.
SA currently has 1 Full Professor, 3 Assistant Professors and 2 TCPLs dedicated to our analytics curriculum. We also have 2 full professors, 2 associate and 2 assistant professors that teach both analytics and information systems courses.
The program is already fully staffed we are simply splitting this track out into a separate major to reduce the confusion that currently exists in students, advising and recruiting companies.
Describe the credentialing requirements for faculty who will be teaching in the program (e.g., degree requirements, special certifications or licenses, experience, etc.). Note whether you will be using traditional qualifications (i.e., instructor has a degree at least one level above and directly related to the level of the courses being taught) or tested experience qualifications. Please make sure that the tested experience qualifications have been approved.
Tenure track faculty have a terminal degree. TCPLs have at least a masters.
The faculty teaching in this program will abide by Miami’s overload teaching policy.
Indicate whether the department will need to hire additional faculty to begin the proposed program. If additional faculty members are needed, describe the appointment process (by referencing Miami’s search and appointment procedures) and provide a timeline for hiring such individuals.
The program is already fully staffed and populated with students. There essentially is no beginning to this proposal.
8.2 Program faculty
Provide the number of existing faculty members available to teach in the proposed program.
Overall Page 81 of 334 Attachment Page 17 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
Miami University | Proposal to Establish a [Bachelor of Science in Business] in [Business Analytics] | Page 14
Full-time: 6 Less than full-time: 6
Provide an estimate of the number of faculty members to be added during the first two years of program operation.
Full-time: 0 Less than full-time: 0
8.3 Expectations for professional development/scholarship
Miami’s tenure-eligible faculty are expected to produce high-quality scholarship for promotion and tenure (see policy library). Teaching faculty, visiting and part-time faculty are not expected to engage in scholarly activity. However, all faculty are provided opportunities for professional development such as programming offered by the Center for Teaching Excellence and the Howe Center for Writing Excellence. Tenure-eligible faculty are provided additional support for research and creative activity, such as assigned research appointments.
Indicate the department’s support (including financial) provided for such activities.
Standard expectations for both tenure track and TCPL faculty.
8.4 Faculty matrix
Complete a faculty matrix for the proposed program. A faculty member must be identified for each course that is a required component of the curriculum. If a faculty member has not yet been identified for a course, indicate that as an “open position” and describe the necessary qualifications in the matrix (as shown in the example below). A copy of each faculty member’s CV must be included as an appendix item.
As stated previously, all of the courses in the programs are already populated and offered. There are currently 88 students declared in the business analytics track. All of these courses also programs offered by the department.
Here is a table of faculty who are already on board who have or will soon teach each of the required classes. All electives in the program are also already offered and staffed.

N/A - The program is already running as a track
SECTION 10: BUDGET, RESOURCES, AND FACILITIES
10.1 Resources and facilities
List the facilities/equipment currently available for the program. Where possible, provide a list of the specific resources that the institution intends to acquire, the collaborative arrangements it intends to pursue, and monetary amounts the institution will dedicate th the library budget to support and maintain the proposed program.
N/A - The program is already running as a track
10.2 Budget/financial planning:
Complete the table on the following page to describe the financial plan/budget for the first three years of program operation.
This is not the normal FIS for new degree programs because this is not new in the normal sense. Due to the confusion from having an Information Systems and Analytics major with two very well populated tracks (101 and 88), we are simply splitting one of the tracks out into its own program.
There are no curriculum changes to either track. All of the faculty to teach the program are in place and all courses are already taught. Essentially, there is no financial impact of the new major.

Basic Characteristics of the Educational Program 1. Brief description of the disciplinary purpose and significance of the proposed degree Miami University proposes a 10-month graduate degree program for the Master of Science in Business Management. The aim of the Master of Science in Business Management (MSiM) is to deliver the trifecta of business knowledge, hands-on client based experiential learning and essential skills, to a broad set of students from diverse disciplines. This degree is positioned to help recent graduates start a career. The need for business knowledge, that is integrated with client based experiential learning and development of skills valued by employers, regardless of undergraduate major, is an imperative across most careers. The undergraduate curriculum for non-business majors does not focus on the above areas. Students will graduate with the foundational knowledge and experience that they need to compete for early career roles in business organizations.
2. Definition of the focus of the program The curriculum of the program is designed to instruct students to analyze and contribute new knowledge and insights to solving business problems. Graduates will be trained to analyze business problems that require a critical understanding of strategic thinking, data driven decision making, creative problem solving, entrepreneurial thinking, and ethical decision making, among other knowledge and skills. This degree is positioned to help recent graduates start a career. The program provides an innovative curriculum plus career coaching and leadership development, taught by the faculty in the Farmer School of Business at Miami University.
3. Rationale for the degree name In this program, students will gain knowledge and learn skills that will enable them to contribute new knowledge and insights into business decision making. In the culminating experience, every student will apply the scientific method, using data and insights to research, build perspectives and create new knowledge that informs business practice. After completion of the core and practice coursework, the culminating experience will deliver value to all stakeholders. This will be immersive and fast paced, will mimic a real business and require the delivery of value in the form of new knowledge that informs the practice of business.

4. Duration of the program The MSiM is a 10-month, 30-credit hour program. It will run on the standard semester, August – May calendar. The program has three component parts, and offered over the Fall, Winter and Spring semesters. There are no tracks in the program.
5. Admission Timing The target date for start of the new program is Fall 2021. The program plan includes one cohort per year.
6. Primary target audience for the program and admission requirements The target audience is non-business graduates from Miami or any accredited university, with little to no work experience. Business minors are eligible. The student shall very recently have earned a bachelor's degree (preferably 1 year or less). Students who have fulfilled the requirements for a baccalaureate degree and earned at least a 3.25 cumulative GPA, are eligible to apply. Applications will begin in fall 2020.
As described by the Dean of Durham Business School in Masters in Management: On the rise (The Economist, May 23rd, 2017), “Students choose a first degree in a subject they are interested in, then take a Master’s in management to monetize it.” Given Miami University’s emphasis on career paths for all our majors, and a generation of students who are forging entrepreneurial careers, across the spectrum of startups, non-profits, and corporate organizations, this graduate program will be an attractive option for students, regardless of major, to stay on campus for an additional year, earn a business graduate degree, and accelerate their career trajectory.
We are confident that there is a market for this program. In the class of 2022, approximately 58% of students entered with an average of 18.6 hours of college credit from AP, CCP and other credit. (http://www.miamioh.edu/oir/data/first-year-profile/index.html). This suggests that there is a significant fraction of students who are on a fast-track since high school and are a strong target market for a graduate program that will add value where all graduates, regardless of major, can jump start a career.

7. Special efforts to target and retain underrepresented groups The data shows that this degree has more diversity than a traditional MBA degree. As stated in “Masters in Management: On the Rise”, The Economist, May 2017, “MIMs attract more women, possibly because MBA students are at the age at which many take time out of their careers to start a family. The average proportion of women on an Economist-ranked MIM course is 46%, compared with just 36% on MBAs. Few who have experienced the alpha-male atmosphere of the average MBA classroom would disagree that changing the balance of the sexes at business school would be a good thing.”
Miami University has strongly prioritized promoting a diverse culture. We believe that the focus on this culture will enhance our efforts to enroll and retain underrepresented groups. The foundational goal to promote a diverse culture of inclusion, integrity, and collaboration that deepens understanding and embraces intercultural and global experiences, includes specific strategies.
The Farmer School of Business partners with the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Success to attract and retain students on this campus. To attract diverse students, the Farmer School of Business has several initiatives, that include partnering with area high schools for summer camps, including Discover U in Business and the Accountancy camp. This relationship with high schools will be an excellent vehicle to share information about this program and attract more diverse students to apply to the university. The Farmer School also partners with the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Success on new student recruitment. With this graduate degree, we will continue to work with Enrollment Management, to attract a more diverse group of students to apply to the university. We expect that as the program gets established, students will choose to come to Miami with an undergraduate major, and plan to stay an extra year to pursue the MSiM.
The Miami University Academic Affairs Office of Institutional Research provides annual statistics on the demographic profile and diversity of our first-time undergraduate students by division. This data is relevant because it illustrates that there is a pool of students at Miami University, who are underrepresented in traditional business school graduate programs and will potentially find the MSiM degree an attractive career opportunity. The statistics for each year are compiled on October 15th. So, at least some of the students we are targeting are represented by the 2017 class and potentially 2018 students.

2. Requirements that students must fulfill to complete the program successfully
The MSiM is a 30-credit hour program with a required pre-program Foundation week. There is an embedded certificate in business management. There are three component parts to the MSiM: preparation (18 credit hours), practice (6 credit hours) and culmination or execution (6 credit hours). The execution component is the culminating experience of the program. The three parts will collectively engage the student, first with knowledge and integration of the various gears that are 6
Overall Page 143 of 334 Attachment Page 79 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
engaged in the functioning of a business in the preparation component; then enable application and analysis in the practice module and finally, apply the scientific method, using data and insights to research, build perspectives and create new knowledge that informs business practice, in the execute or culminating component.

Foundation week Program Orientation, Career Preparation. Credit/No Credit. Required Foundation week is the week prior to the start of fall Semester. Students will be introduced to the requirements and expectations of the program. It will include team activities and career preparation.
Preparation Component: Fall and Winter Semester Business Core with an embedded Certificate in Business Management: 18 credit hours
The business core curriculum delivers on all the key functional areas of a business while integrated projects within and across the courses reinforce concepts and applications. This is achieved through faculty collaboration on curriculum development, with the integration of applications and cases, shared readings and assignments. Any business organization, irrespective of the products or platforms, operates on common fundamental business principles. It is therefore important to have knowledge of the functional areas of business for long term career success. At the same time, businesses are increasingly integrated across areas and employees are required to bridge silos and work effectively

Overall Page 144 of 334 Attachment Page 80 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
across the organization. Therefore, it is equally important to understand how the apparently discrete pieces fit together to deliver organizational value.
There are eight courses in the business core. Fall Semester Business Core 13.5 credit hours

3. Description of a required culminating or integrated learning experience
The execution component is the culminating program experience. In the culminating experience, every student will apply the scientific method, using data and insights to research, build perspectives and create new knowledge that informs business practice. This will be a client challenge, where every student will apply the scientific method, analyze, learn and deliver a response that creates new knowledge and insights into business decision making. The students will demonstrate a critical understanding of the context of the challenge and analyze the business problem to deliver their response. The program director, faculty and business client will serve as advisors and mentors. After completion of the core and practice coursework, the culminating experience in the execution component will deliver value to all stakeholders. This is an immersive and fast paced experience, that will mimic the pace of real business and will require the delivery of value in the form of new knowledge that informs business practice.
Institutional Planning for the Program
1. Physical facilities, Equipment and staff needed to support the program
The program will be delivered in the Farmer School of Business. No additional physical resources beyond what is already available, is required for the program. Classes will be offered in the evening, which will alleviate space issues during the day in the Farmer School of Business.
The curriculum is designed and will be delivered by Farmer School of Business faculty. This is a critically important element for program success, because this degree program is envisioned to be highly integrated and collaborative at all stages of development, delivery and ongoing revision. It is important to understand that the program does not require new faculty lines. All faculty are all Farmer School of Business Tenure/Tenure Track/Clinical Faculty, who will teach on overload. The multidisciplinary nature of MSiM does not put significant demands on any individual department. Rather, faculty from all areas of the Farmer School of Business will have the opportunity to be engaged in the program. The Faculty Matrix and Faculty Vitae are in Appendix A and B respectively.
The Farmer School has recently recruited a graduate program director to manage the Master of Science in Business Analytics in fall 2020 and also the MSiM, once approved. The duties for the director include program marketing, student recruiting, student placement, external networking to recruit clients 10
Overall Page 147 of 334 Attachment Page 83 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
for the culminating experience, engagement with career services, and exploration of opportunities to collaborate with other professional master’s programs, dual degree programs and graduate certificates across the University. The program director has experience and networks in academia and business, to effectively communicate with students, faculty, corporate clients, potential recruiters, university partners and all other stakeholders. The director is a professional with collaborative skills, vision and demonstrated ability to execute on the delivery. We will eventually recruit a (part time) administrative assistant to support the program director.
2. Evidence of market for the new program The employment outlook for graduates with either a MSiM or similar master’s degree is above the average expected growth of the total labor market, as reported by Burning Glass Technologies. (www.burning-glass.com). Nationwide occupations requiring a MSiM or similar degree are expected to grow by 81% versus 7.4% for the total labor market. Employment for the midwest has increased from 1.7 million jobs in 2013, requiring a MSiM or similar master’s degree, to 1.9 million jobs in 2017. “Based on Burning Glass data, the number of jobs with business master’s backgrounds is expected to grow over by 9.5% by 2027 (1,941,231 to 2,124,614) across the Midwest. Nationally, demand is expected to grow 8.1% by 2027. Over the last year (2/18 - 1/19), the top 5 largest job postings states for business master’s was California, New York, Texas, Massachusetts, and Illinois (rank order), all high priority prospective student recruiting states for Miami. The top 5 hiring employers in the region were Anthem Blue Cross, Deloitte, U.S. Bancorp, UnitedHealth Group, and JP Morgan Chase Company.” Michael Kabbaz, (former) Senior Vice President, Enrollment Management and Student Success, Miami University. Market Analysis can be found in Appendix E.
The MBA program has long been the status quo graduate program in business schools. However, the enrollment in MBA programs been shrinking. (See Financial Times article: Masters in Management enjoys faster growth than the MBA, https://www.ft.com/content/73469dac-868c-11e7-8bb1- 5ba57d47eff7). There is a rise in a new Master’s degree program, the Master’s in management. While the MBA degree targets students with prior work experience, looking for career advancement, the MSiM degree is uniquely positioned to assist new graduates. (See Financial Times article: https://www.ft.com/content/767ba346-868c-11e7-8bb1-5ba57d47eff7.)
11
Overall Page 148 of 334 Attachment Page 84 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
The article, Masters in Management: On the rise (The Economist, May 23rd, 2017), documents the increasing global demand for this degree program. It also discusses the distinctly different student audiences for the Masters in Management and the MBA degree programs and a shifting paradigm, where enrollment in the latter is on the decline whereas the former is poised on a positive trend. (See Financial Times article: https://www.ft.com/content/767ba346-868c-11e7-8bb1-5ba57d47eff7.) Also, see Sheila Kloefkorn’s article It’s Time To Reskill The Marketing Workforce. (Forbes Agency Council, April 2018 https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/people/sheilakloefkorn1/#320fb51b53d7).
We are confident that there is a market for this degree program. Over 4000 students enter Miami every year, and approximately 58% of first-year students enter with an average of 18.6 hours of college credit from AP, CCP and other credit. (http://www.miamioh.edu/oir/data/first-year-profile/index.html). This suggests that there is a significant fraction of students who have been on a fast-track since high school and are a strong target market for a graduate program that will add value and jump-start a career. As described by the Dean of Durham Business School in Masters in Management: On the rise (The Economist, May 23rd, 2017), “Students choose a first degree in a subject they are interested in, then take a Master’s in management to monetize it.”
Miami University is investing in specialized Master’s programs, and this program fits precisely within this institutional strategy. Additional evidence of institutional support can be found in letters of support in Appendix F. a) Projected enrollment in first year of launch is to be around 30 students, to expand to 50 by year 4. This cohort size is designed for a small class and high engagement format. In context, a class of 30 students is about 0.01% of the approximately 3,000 non-business graduates from Miami University every year. b) In the program planning and budgeting processes, we focused on a class size of 30, to allow the high engagement format. As discussed, this target class size is very achievable, given the size of the potential target market at Miami University alone, and not even considering other universities.
3. Statewide Alternatives The Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University has a Master of Science in Management with specialized tracks in Finance, Business Analytics, and Operations Research and
12
Overall Page 149 of 334 Attachment Page 85 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
Supply chain. That program has specific tracks in three specialized areas, and is therefore different than a generalized program as described in this proposal. Ohio University has a 100% online Master of Science in Management (MSM). The program is 36-credit hours, with twelve 3-credit courses. The significant distinction between the MSM and the proposed Miami University MSiM program is in the mode of delivery. We plan a highly immersive and experiential on-campus program. We are not aware of any other similar program in the State of Ohio.
Therefore, the MSiM at Miami University will be a unique opportunity to expand this degree in our state. Building on the strong brand and reputation of Miami University and the Farmer School of Business, this program will graduate a cohort of business school graduates who will add to the skilled workforce in Ohio.
We did benchmark against other similar programs in the country. The table below provides the benchmarking data. Additional benchmarking information is included in Appendix E.

Overall Page 150 of 334 Attachment Page 86 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
4. Growth of the program Projected enrollment in the first year of the program is estimated at 30 students. In year 2, we expect to grow to 40 students and expand to a class size of 50 by year and 3. We expect the program will be self- sufficient (generate revenue to cover costs and also yield positive net revenue), at the end of the first year of operation. Details are provided in the fiscal impact statement in Appendix D.
5. Institutional Staffing, Faculty, and Student Support Faculty The program will be designed and delivered by Farmer School of Business faculty. This is critically important for program success, because this degree program is designed to be highly collaborative and integrated in all stages of development, delivery and ongoing revision. There will be over 35 faculty, all tenure/tenure track/clinical faculty, engaged in teaching and/or developing curriculum for the program. It is important to emphasize that the program does not require new faculty lines. Faculty will teach on overload. The multidisciplinary nature of MSiM does not put significant demands on any individual department. Rather, faculty from all areas of the Farmer School of Business will have the opportunity to be engaged in the program. The Faculty Matrix and Faculty Vitae are in Appendix A and B respectively.
Administration and Support As discussed, there will be a program director, with duties that include program marketing, student recruiting, student placement, external networking to recruit clients for the culminating experience, engagement with career services, and exploration of opportunities to collaborate with other professional master’s programs, dual degree programs and graduate certificates across the University. In the program director, we have a professional with experience and networks in academia and business, to communicate with students, faculty, corporate clients, potential recruiters, university partners and all other stakeholders. We have a professional, with collaborative skills, vision and demonstrated ability to execute on the delivery. We will also recruit a part time administrative assistant to support the program director. The financial support for the program director and administrative assistant support, is provided by the Miami University Provost’s Boldly Creative initiative.
We anticipate the need for a marketing budget for program launch, materials, and creation of a web presence. Additionally, we have built in miscellaneous program support costs and a recurring
14
Overall Page 151 of 334 Attachment Page 87 of 190 Resolutions Attachment E Provost Osborne December 12, 2019
investment in curriculum development to keep the MSiM program agile and relevant. These expenses will be supported by the Office of the Dean, Farmer School of Business. Details are included in the fiscal impact statement in Appendix D. As the fiscal impact statement shows, the program is expected to break even and yield positive net revenue, in the first year of operation.

Dr. Marc A. Rubin Dean and Mitchell P. Rales Chair in Business Leadership Farmer School of Business Miami University Oxford, OH 45056
Dear Marc:
I am writing to express my strong support for your proposal to offer a Master of Science in Management. This one-year, post-baccalaureate M.S. degree program will provide our nonbusiness students the necessary business skills to obtain their first job and better prepare them to directly utilize their liberal arts degrees in a business environment. Over 50% of Arts and Science majors take positions in the private/business sector directly after graduation. The breadth of knowledge and core critical thinking and communication skills from the liberal arts degrees of our graduates combined with essential business skills and hands-on client based experiential learning provided by the proposed MSiM will provide an exceptional educational background. This combination will make our students highly competitive as they enter the workforce and prepare them for long successful careers in the business world. I believe that the MSiM will be an attractive option for Arts and Science students and a valuable asset as they transition into the business world. Therefore, I am happy to provide my strong endorsement of your proposal.
Sincerely,
Chris Makaroff Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry Dean, College of Arts and Science

To: Marc Rubin, Dean, Farmer School of Business From: Michael S. Kabbaz, Senior Vice President, Enrollment Management & Student Success Re: Letter of Support for the Master of Science in Business Management Date: March 1, 2019
I am writing to express my full support for the proposed Master of Science in Business Management (MSiM) in the Farmer School of Business (FSB). It is vital for the Oxford campus to continue to add high- quality, in-demand master’s degrees that assist Miami’s ability to attract talented and diverse prospective students from Ohio, across the nation, and around the world. As importantly, this proposed degree opens up a new and desirable post- undergraduate pathway opportunity that leads to high demand business careers for non- business students.
Based on Burning Glass data1, the number of jobs with business master’s backgrounds is expected to grow over by 9.5% by 2027 (1,941,231 to 2,124,614) across the Midwest. Nationally, demand is expected to grow 8.1% by 2027. Over the last year (2/18 - 1/19), the top 5 largest job postings states for business master’s was California, New York, Texas, Massachusetts, and Illinois (rank order), all high priority prospective student recruiting states for Miami. The top 5 hiring employers in the region were Anthem Blue Cross, Deloitte, U.S. Bancorp, UnitedHealth Group, and JP Morgan Chase Company.
As described in the program proposal, the new master’s degree will provide the FSB faculty the ability to “leverage core critical thinking skills from the liberal arts Foundation of our graduates, and add value with the trifecta of essential business skills, business knowledge and hands-on client based experiential learning.” This new proposed master’s degree couples the national reputation of the FSB with Miami’s top-rated undergraduate degree to provide relevant, in-demand skills that without question will significantly expand high-quality employment opportunities for its graduates immediately upon graduation.

Letter of Support Miami University Master of Science in Business Management
Dear Sir/Madam:
As Co-Chair of the Farmer School’s Business Advisory Council, I am an avid supporter of the proposed Master of Science in Business Management program at Miami University. I feel this program meets a critical need for all business as we strive to compete both locally and globally.
In an increasingly complex and data rich environment, skill sets such as those to be offered in the proposed program will provide a pipeline of individuals with skills that can help make a difference for the success of any organization. As such, I offer my enthusiastic support for this program.
The whole Business Advisory Council looks forward to engaging with M.U. on this initiative in various mutually beneficial ways including providing real-world project opportunities for students.
Please add my voice in support of this new and exciting program.
Sincerely,
Justin Sheperd

Letter of Support Miami University Master of Science in Business Management Dear Grant Decision Makers for BOLDLY CREATIVE, This program is a winner. It embodies the spirit of BOLDLY CREATIVE. It will equip our students with the skills they need to be workplace leaders while enhancing the university’s undergraduate teaching, learning and research. This program focuses on innovation, creativity, practicality and student success.
Importantly, this program will generate significant net incremental profit and will become self-sustaining
Dr. Barnali Gupta indicates this program is expected during the initial face to face delivery phase, to scale to a steady state of 50 students per year and generate net incremental profit of around $1 million per year. I believe her estimates are conservative. Expansion to online, after proof of concept, is the next step and will further accelerate and amplify this initiative.
For me the question is not should we fund this program? It is are we moving fast and bold enough to get this to scale? Are we investing enough?
This program will deliver to the non-business major, the trifecta of essential skills, business knowledge and hands-on client based experiential learning that I see the need for in my consulting assignments. I see this consistently across my client base which includes: Unilever, Colgate, Kimberly-Clark, Coca-Cola, Mars Candy, General Mills, Nestle, Clorox, Campbell’s, Mattel/Fisher-Price, Pfizer, Abbott, Pharmavite, Sony, J&J, Grupo Bimbo, Lego, and Michelin.
What is particularly exciting is that Dr. Gupta and the Farmer School of Business is thinking about the success of all Miami University students by creating a path for students with majors from across campus who want to develop business skills and knowledge, regardless of their undergraduate major.
It is with pleasure that I endorse this creative and innovative Master of Science in Business Management in the Farmer School of Business and with deep appreciation to Dr. Barnali Gupta for her leadership.

FROM THE DESK OF Brian Wolfe
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am a strong supporter of the proposed Master of Science in Business Management program at Miami University. I am an advocate of encouraging undergraduate students to major in an area of study they are passionate in. The Master of Science in Business Management program will provide non-business major students a more formal "bridge" into the business world through classroom study and hands-on experiences.
Business leaders seek out young persons who understand how to problem solve and think systemically. Non-business undergraduate programs such as engineering, the sciences and software development encourage and develop these skills, but may not prepare students for functional business roles, such as in project and product management. The Master of Science in Business Management program will do an excellent job of taking a student's existing skills and translating and supplementing those skills for application in the business world. As such, I offer my enthusiastic support for this program.
I look forward to engaging with Miami on this initiative.
Sincerely,
Brian D. Wolfe

Causes for remediation. Please select all that are relevant from the following categories and provide detail. - Lack of student preparation at the K-12 level - Prescriptive placement policies (over reliance on a single assessment measure) - Deferred entry into higher education (adult students returning to higher education) - Other (any other cause identified by the university) Cause Description Lack of student preparation High percentages of incoming students on the regional campsues have academic need stemming from attending less rigorous high schools, challenging family situations, and lack of study skills and a college mindset. Lack of student preparation Many incoming students on the regional campuses have poor technology skills due to out-of-date or nonexistent technology at home, antiquated word processing software, and computers riddled with viruses. Other For most students on the Regional campuses, future jobs are of utmost priority. Yet, because Miami stresses a liberal arts approach to higher education, the correlation between academic pathways and career pathways seems murky to students. Other All students on the regional campuses commute to school, and many have significant family and work commitments. Most students come to campus, attend class and leave which means that they have little opportunity to build meaningful relationships with faculty and advisors nor take advantage of support services available on the campuses.

This report highlights a few of those efforts. Sober Squad Sober Squad is a new student organization dedicated to building alcohol-free social connections. The organization, now affiliated with the Office of Student Wellness, began out of an incoming student’s (Cari Sullivan) Facebook post looking for other students who wanted to socialize without alcohol. Students involved in Sober Squad choose alcohol-free social events on campus and support each others’ choices around sobriety. Now with 52 official members and 300 students following on GroupMe, they host parties and off-campus activities and coordinate groups of students who want to go uptown on the weekends to dance and be part of the social scene without the pressure to drink alcohol. Census 2020 The Wilks Leadership Institute is developing a strategy and program to support census education in the spring and to promote an accurate count of staff, faculty and students. The program, called RedHawks Count, aims to help students understand and transition into their roles as responsible citizens. The program will recruit volunteers to be part of both the educational outreach and the local count initiatives. This effort is supported by a grant from the Andrew Goodman Foundation, with whom Miami has an on-going memorandum of agreement. The foundation provides funding for the Vote Everywhere Ambassadors as well as other civic engagement initiatives. Dean’s Advisory Board The Office of the Dean of Students recently developed a Dean of Students’ Advisory Board (DAB). The board consists of 11 student leaders whose mission is to influence positive change on campus, develop new initiatives to address current issues on campus, and celebrate student accomplishments. The group will also help the Dean of Students set priorities for the upcoming academic year. While the advisory board will determine its own first steps and priorities, some anticipated issues are sexual and interpersonal violence education, prevention, and response, and diversity and inclusion. The board will also assist in the Love & Honor Story Project, a new initiative that highlights and celebrates student leaders who exemplify Miami values and the Code of Love & Honor. Student Conduct: A Developmental Process The Office of Community Standards plays a meaningful role in the transition of first-year students who have been cited for a violation through the student conduct process. Their approach to violations has recently shifted to be more developmental, educational, and restorative rather than primarily punitive. Every student is now given an opportunity to reflect on their choices and how their actions impacted their community. The number of educational sanctions has increased substantially from Fall 2018 to Fall 2019, likely due to all students being required to attend a meeting with a hearing officer rather than accepting responsibility for charges via email without speaking to a staff member.

While regional campus students and graduate students were also included in the data collection, only full time Oxford undergraduates are represented in this report. This was the third year the survey was administered. Among respondents, 35.6% were first year students; 26.6% second year students; 19.9% third year students; 16.4% fourth year students; and 1.5% fifth year students. Key Findings 1. At the time of the survey, 33% of the students were non-drinkers 2. Consistent with national trends, students reported consuming fewer drinks on a typical drinking occasion than previous year surveys. 3. 42.9% of students reported attending alcohol-free programming on campus 4. Students report a misalignment of perceived norms. Specifically, they believe that other students drink more than they really do; and they believe that other students approve of risky drinking behaviors (e.g., drinking shots, playing drinking games) more than they do in reality 5. First generation students and international students tend to have the lowest drinking rates 6. Students who have trauma histories have high drinking levels 7. Students who use other substances (e.g., marijuana, e-cigarettes) tend to report the highest drinking levels 8. Students who believe that alcohol is central to their college experience tend to drink at higher levels 9. Students who report that their parents talked to them about alcohol tend to report lower levels of alcohol consumption Population-specific data from the 2019 MSHS was analyzed and presented to audiences on campus by project lead, Dr. Rose Marie Ward. The Office of Student Wellness offered resources and programmatic ideas as part of the presentations to encourage data-informed strategies and partnerships in selected Miami student experiences. The following groups participated: ● Admissions Office ● Rinella Learning Center ● Graduate School ● Student Counseling Service ● International Student and Scholar Services ● Student Health Service ● Miami Regionals ● Student Life Leadership Team ● Miller Center for Disability Services ● Student Wellness ● Accessible Technology Services ● University Honors Program Prevention The Office of Student Wellness offers training, programming and professional development opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to address issues around wellness with the outcome of promoting student success. New this year, lesson plans were created for Resident Assistants (RAs) to facilitate active tabling in their halls around alcohol awareness. More than 36 alcohol awareness programs were implemented.

Sober Squad is a new student organization dedicated to social wellness and alcohol-free social events on campus and support each others' choices around sobriety. Sober Squad is discussed in the Student Life report this month. Update on Ongoing Efforts The AlcoholEdu for College Dashboard AlcoholEdu for College is a required online course for incoming first year students to complete prior to the first day of class. The course serves as a universal alcohol prevention strategy, implemented to reach a large number of students to educate, set expectations around behaviors, and enhance a culture of care and concern. The second part to AlcoholEdu for College, which contains a post-test for assessment purposes, is implemented in October. The completion rate for this year is 97.7%. Late Night Miami offers students alcohol-free programs and events every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Over the past year, Miami Activities & Programming (MAP) partnered with 51 student organizations and university departments by providing Late Night Grants and event planning expertise to create an inclusive and diverse programming schedule. Late Night Miami hosted 88 free events during the 2019 calendar year (46 in Spring 2019, 42 in Fall 2019). Over 31,500 students attended these late night events (14,000 in Spring 2019 and 17,500 through November in Fall 2019), with an average attendance of over 350 students per event. Step Up! is a prosocial behavior and bystander intervention program that trains students to recognize potentially dangerous situations and be proactive in helping their fellow students. Since implementing the program in 2015, nearly 20,000 students have been trained in this peer-delivered program offered through the Office of Student Wellness. In Fall 2019, over 2,760 first-year students completed the training through their first year experience course. Attachment H Overall Page 306 of 334 Attachment Page 2 of 3 Student Wellness Attachment H AVP Large December 12, 2019 Response Miami offers two intervention classes for alcohol sanctions through the Office of Student Wellness. The classes are based on Prime for Life®, an evidence-based prevention and intervention program, providing students with information regarding how alcohol and other drug use impacts their lives. The intervention classes focus on risk reduction; they give students skills and knowledge to make choices about alcohol use that reduces their chances for harm. Drug and alcohol evaluation through the Student Counseling Service includes comprehensive substance use/abuse assessments, referrals, individual, couples, and group therapy. Evaluations can be voluntary, sanctioned through the Office of Community Standards, or court ordered. The Haven at College is a partnership with an addiction treatment and recovery services provider in the Oxford Community. While The Haven is not affiliated with Miami, it provides safe and relatable spaces for college students to meet, grow, live, and recover from substance use and co-occurring disorders, free of judgment and stigma. This year, The Haven at College has expanded services to include mental health counseling. Culture The charge and framework of the Alcohol Coordinating Committee (ACC) was reviewed during Fall 2018/ Winter 2019, resulting in a realignment of strategies to create a three-pronged approach to guide the ACC’s work to decrease high-risk alcohol use: Prevention, Response, and Culture. For the 2019-2020 academic year, the ACC is primarily focused on the third prong, “culture,” with the ultimate goal of developing environmental strategies to shift cultural norms. Regular meetings of the ACC, with revised membership, resumed in the Fall 2019 semester. The ACC is co-chaired by Assistant Vice President for Health and Wellness, Dr. Stephen Large, and the Office of Student Wellness director, Rebecca Baudry Young. Current membership includes: ● Provost Office - Jeffrey Wanko ● Talawanda School District/Community ● Office of Government Relations - Randi Coalition - Amy Macechko Thomas ● Enrollment Management and Student ● University Communications - Claire Wagner Success - Craig Bennett ● MUPD Chief of Police - John McCandless ● Residence Life - Vicka Bell-Robinson ● OPD Chief of Police - John Jones ● Faculty - Aaron Luebbe ● OFD Chief - John Detherage ● Office of Community Standards - Ann ● Oxford City Manager - Douglas Elliott James ● Tri-Health, MHMH - Pam Collins After examining cultural challenges, as well as recognizing the national landscape on this issue, the ACC analyzed factors that contribute to or encourage the overconsumption or under-age consumption of alcohol. Areas that warranted further investigation included pre-matriculation messaging, recruitment, and leveraging current relationships with high schools. The ACC has recommended the creation of an ambassador program to high schools to reinforce messages of health, prosocial behaviors, and student engagement. An implementation work group will be identified for Spring 2020.

Scott and Susan MacDonald Miller Center for Student Disability Services follows best practices for higher education disability services by coordinating support services, reasonable accommodations, and resources to ensure equal access to education, student employment, and university life. Furthermore, it is the mission of the Miller Center to advance and sustain an environment of internal equity, diversity, and inclusiveness for all members of the Miami University community. Vision Statement Through the generosity of Scott and Susan Miller and the efforts of the Miller Center staff, Miami is now situated to be a statewide and national leader in the field of disability services in the 21st century. The Miller Center is unique in its ability to support students through a holistic combination of mandated services, identity affirming programs, and resources that promote cultural competency around the topic of disability. Moving forward, this continued shift away from “just compliance” towards a campus climate of identity affirmation, inclusive excellence, equality, and universal design is vital in supporting students with disabilities at Miami and being a leader in the field. Strategic Priorities (2019-20) The Miller Center goals for FY20 are aligned with the six focus areas of the Division of Student Life: Community and Belonging, Diversity and Inclusion, Student Transitions, Academic Support, Health and Wellness, and Engagement and Leadership. Through our goals, the Miller Center team pledges to: ● Enhance opportunities for student engagement and staff development. ● Engage in collaborative programming with various partners, such as the College2Careers initiative. ● Continue to enhance diversity initiatives in our marketing resources and programming. ● Offer 10 training sessions for students and faculty on accessibility resources. ● Continue to work with campus partners such as Rinella Learning Center, AccessMU, and Campus Services to offer student support in the areas of academic excellence, adaptive technology, and equal access to the overall campus experience. Student Voice & Leadership The Miller Center’s Students with Disabilities Advisory Council (SDAC) actively develops initiatives to engage the Miami community in dialogue that enhances the experience of Love & Honor for students with disabilities and all Miamians. SDAC is currently planning a large-scale, two-night disability awareness event with Intercollegiate Athletics and Miami Hockey during a February 2020 homestand. Miller Center Film Series The Miller Center hosts a series consisting of three film showings each semester highlighting various topics around disability. The series is free and open to the public. This semester we featured the films Lives Worth Living, Murderball, and Sound and Fury, to over 125 attendees. Overall Page 308 of 334 Attachment Page 1 of 3 Student Disability Services Attachment I Director Zeisler December 12, 2019 Service Numbers & Trends The Miller Center served 10% of the student body during 2018-19. Key Service Trends ⬈ Housing/Dining accommodations ⬈ Service Utilization ⬊ Learning Disabilities ⬈ Medical Disabilities Faculty Engagement in the Interactive Accommodation Process Faculty play a key role in the interactive accommodation process due to the growing population of students with disabilities and increasing complexities of classroom technology. This trend has led to greater teaching impact, defined as any course that has at least one student using accommodations in the course. A 51% increase in teaching impact has occurred over the last four academic years. In response to shifting trends, the Miller Center has increased faculty support through Preterm Consultation and enhanced training opportunities. Preterm Consultation. Faculty are required to participate in Preterm Consultation for all students with vision and hearing disabilities. During consultation, Miller Center staff meet with faculty and students to proactively plan accessible course material. During the 2018-19 academic year, consults were completed for 243 courses and 46 individual students. Winter/Spring 2020 consultations are currently underway. Faculty Training Sessions. The Miller Center introduced Accommodating Students with Disabilities, a comprehensive faculty training session that reviews key accommodation policies and educates faculty on roles and responsibilities during the interactive accommodation process. During Fall 2018, 96 faculty participated in the training. The Miller Center plans to develop a web course this year to expand the reach of this offering.

While many classes, offices, and student organizations across campus are significantly involved in the Oxford community, this report focuses on initiatives involving Student Life. When this report was submitted three years ago, we had one staff member with primary responsibility for working with off-campus students and the City of Oxford. Since that time, we have dispersed those responsibilities across multiple offices, allowing us to capitalize on specific knowledge across the division and increasing partnerships. Programs and Initiatives Student Life is involved in programming for and in the Oxford community in many ways. We serve on planning committees for joint programs and initiatives, promote and advertise uptown events, sponsor, promote and participate in service in the community, develop wellness related initiatives and programming for Oxford, and offer trainings to community members and organizations. Some highlights include: ShareFest is a service and environmental nonprofit corporation in Oxford dedicated to collecting and redistributing items donated by Miami students and the Oxford community at the end of the academic year. Collected items benefit residents in need and social service agencies throughout the region. Two Miami staff members sit on the ShareFest Board of Directors (Adam Sizemore, Director of Sustainability for PFD and Rob Abowitz, Associate Director of Residence Life). Nearly 100 tons of food, clothing and household goods are collected from residence halls and off-campus students and diverted from the landfill each year. Walkabout is an annual program (in its 16th year) in which volunteers visit off-campus students in their rental houses at the beginning of fall semester. The volunteers (staff, faculty, students, and community members) welcome students back to town and provide useful information about living in Oxford, including recycling and noise policies, health and wellness information, and community and campus resources. In addition to information, they also give cookies to each house that answers the door. Over 100 volunteers visited 976 residences to deliver information to students this fall. Overall Page 311 of 334 Attachment Page 1 of 3 Off-Campus Outreach Attachment J Student Life December 12, 2019 During Orientation and Welcome Weekend, we work to connect new students to the Oxford community. Those efforts start during June orientation, when we ask students and families to bring a contribution for the orientation food drive, benefitting the Talawanda Oxford Pantry & Social Services (TOPSS- formerly the Oxford Community Choice Pantry). In 2019 we collected and donated 3,133 pounds of food, exceeding our goal of 2,023 pounds for the class of 2023 by 1,110 pounds. The City of Oxford also participates in the resource fair on day one of Orientation, handing out information from the Chamber of Commerce and Enjoy Oxford. During Welcome Weekend, Saturday morning’s main event is the First Year City Hunt, a scavenger hunt Uptown, sponsored by Enjoy Oxford. Saturday afternoon students participate in a Toys for Paws service project, making dog toys for animal shelters in Butler County. We also promote the Oxford Community Picnic, a tradition that takes place the first week of classes every year. The Miami community is very involved in service initiatives in the Oxford community every year. Through Residence Life, students in National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH), Residence Hall Association, Community Leadership Teams, and EcoReps participate in organizing and implementing multiple service initiatives in Oxford, including Empty Bowls, Safe Trick or Treat, the Oxford Community Egg Scramble, Green Clean (a student-run community clean up following green beer day), the Oxford Community Picnic, and the Kramer Carnival. Many students in the Greek community and student organizations, and staff in the Division of Student Life have volunteered at TOPSS and the Booker T. Washington Center, sorting food, stocking shelves, and cleaning. Associated Student Government participates in a community clean up, and fraternity and sorority members sponsor Greek Spring Clean each year. The Wilks Leadership Institute, which now oversees our divisional service and community engagement initiatives, sponsors organized service efforts each year. U-Lead, a pre-semester program for incoming first year students, and the Scholar-Leader retreat both include service projects supporting Oxford agencies. The Day of MPACT is a new program where approximately 150 students spent a Sunday completing service projects focused on sustainability, children’s health, natural preservation, geriatric care, veteran support, international relief, and human trafficking. Most of those projects served local agencies in our region.

Once Phase 3 is complete all academic divisions will move from paper forms to the online request/approval process. The Registrar’s office will be heavily involved with the academic program review/planning process in connection with the strategic plan by contributing curriculum policy and process expertise. Staff in the Registrar’s office has worked closely with the Office of the Provost to promote and provide expertise on the new internship policy and online request/registration process through StudioAbroad.

DECEMBER 2019 Overall Page 322 of 334 Attachment Page 2 of 2 Academic Affairs Good News Attachment N Provost Osborne December 12, 2019 ACADEMIC AFFAIRS GOOD NEWS September 2019 – December 2019 Miami professors want art to help change the way climate change is discussed Oct 10, 2019 - Miami University professors are reaching out to the community to change the way climate change is discussed. "With climate change communication, most of the issue has been people getting on the soapbox and lecturing people," said Shafkat Khan, a professor in Miami's Project Dragonfly. "People, in the U.S. in particular, have responded to that by being skeptical or being detached." With that in mind, Khan wanted to change tactics and founded Engaging for Climate in Oxford (ECO). He teamed up with Katie Feilen and Amy Sullivan of Project Dragonfly (biology), Shara Clark of the department of media, journalism and film and Stephanie Danker of the department of art. "We humans, as much as we like facts and figures, respond to narratives and visuals more. The field of climate change communication is trying to bridge that gap," Khan said. The group, in collaboration with the Oxford Community Arts Center, is now taking applications for its second art show. All media will be considered, including the written word. The deadline for the application submission is Jan. 31, 2020."Changing Climate, Changing Communities: Local Reflections of a Global Issue,” will open Friday, Feb. 14, 2020, at the Oxford Community Arts Center. Last spring, the show included about 100 pieces: 10 from Miami students, 10 from local residents and 80 from students at Talawanda Middle School. "We had a lot of people come throughout the month just to see what the works are, and what we had done," said Caroline Lehman-Croswell, executive director of the Oxford Community Arts Center. "It was great to see the community interested in the topic." ECO is also working with teachers in the Talawanda school to integrate art relating to climate change into the curriculum. "The community aspect is such an important part of our program, and we wanted to find a way that we could interact with our community here in Oxford," Feilen said. Oftentimes, climate change is a politicized issue, which brings out this narrative of if it exists, which stops the conversation. Art provides an avenue so people can build an emotional connection and also can change that narrative," she said. A sizable portion of climate change narrative, in general, shows suffering polar bears and rising sea levels, Feilen explained. That's not very relatable to Midwesterners, so many of the pieces at the art show instead focused on global warming's effects on the Midwest. "It doesn't have to be a low-lying area like New York or Florida or Bangladesh," Khan said. "Even in Oxford, we are designed to deal with rain once in a while. Even at the local level, the heavy rainfall will cause flash floods in the Midwest." Although Feilen said that people changing their transportation habits, diet and food waste can help improve the situation, the group decided not to push that message at the art show. "Our goal is to influence the narrative, more than telling people they should do one thing or another,” Kahn said. “So long as they’re engaged with the narrative, we hope it will translate into one form of involvement or another." 25 years of ecosystem research on Acton Lake supported by NSF Oct 15, 2019 - A team of Miami University scientists, led by Mike Vanni, professor of biology, received its fourth National Science Foundation Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (NSF LTREB) grant in support of long-term research at Acton Lake, a reservoir in Oxford, Ohio. The LTREB grant provides $634,999 over the next five years for Vanni and his research team. It is the only LTREB project currently funded in Ohio. The research looks at how long-term changes in agriculture affect streams and lakes, using the Acton Lake watershed as a model system. Vanni has studied Acton Lake and its watershed for more than 25 years. His research on Acton Lake has been supported continuously since 1994 by the NSF, with the past 15 years through the NSF LTREB award program (researchers can only apply for an LTREB grant after they have six years of data from their study sites). Maria Gonzalez, professor of biology, is a co- 1 Overall Page 323 of 334 Attachment Page 1 of 5 Academic Affairs Good News Attachment N Provost Osborne December 12, 2019 ACADEMIC AFFAIRS GOOD NEWS September 2019 – December 2019 principal investigator of the project. Bart Grudzinski, assistant professor of geography, joined Gonzalez and Vanni this year, replacing original team member Bill Renwick, now professor emeritus of geography. Little is known about long-term effects of agricultural changes on streams and lakes, Vanni said. The practice of conservation tillage, which involves plowing the soil less frequently to reduce sediment runoff, was encouraged in the watershed area by the USDA in the early 1990s. Similar changes are occurring in agriculture throughout the Midwest. This practice strongly affected nutrients and sediments in streams that feed downstream Acton Lake, the researchers found. They found an increase in the abundance of bottom-feeding fish, such as gizzard shad. These fish consume sediments and excrete nutrients into the water, providing more sources of nutrients for algae growth. The amount of algae is controlled mostly by concentrations of sediment in the water and the abundance of bottom-feeding fish, Vanni said. The LTREB research explores the long-term changes in these interactions. “We wanted to compare how much nitrogen and phosphorous were coming in from the watershed, versus what was being supplied by the fish,” Vanni said. “We thought that movement of nutrients through the fish could be really important—and it turns out that it is.” Decades of data have revealed some surprises that would not have been detected in the short term. Research shows that stratification of nutrients in soil due to conservation tillage may be having unintended consequences in the Acton watershed. These effects are also seen in the Lake Erie watershed, according to Vanni. (See below for recent publications from the research team on storm events and on contrasting long-term trends in nutrient loads.) Changes in agriculture are also mediated by climate change. Very wet springs followed by very dry summers have become more common in recent years in the Midwest, according to Vanni. This also affects nutrient input. Water temperatures are increasing faster than the air temperature in some lakes, Vanni said. But in our area — and in similar agricultural landscapes — the effects of changing precipitation patterns on nutrients and sediments may be more important than the effects of temperature. Big storms bring in a lot of the nutrients. In Acton Lake, more than half of the nutrients that come in one year can come in a matter of about 10 days, Vanni said. The Acton Lake LTREB project has provided research opportunities for more than 100 Miami undergraduate students over the years, on projects mentored by Vanni, Gonzalez, Renwick and Grudzinski. Many of these students conducted research full time in the summers, supported by fellowships from Miami’s Undergraduate Summer Scholars or Miami Hughes Intern programs. Others were supported by NSF REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) supplements to the LTREB grants. Students from universities around the country have also contributed to this research through Miami's REU Site on Ecology in Human- Dominated Landscapes. Graduate Research Forum Nov. 1: 140 presentations, posters and art displays Oct 29, 2019 - Miami University’s Graduate School presents its 11th annual Graduate Research Forum Friday, Nov. 1, in the Armstrong Student Center. Graduate students from all divisions will present more than 140 oral sessions, poster presentations and art displays. Oral presentations and poster sessions were held in two sessions. Patricia Lang (Miami’60, M.Ed. ’64), recipient of an honorary degree from Miami in 2017, will assist with judging the forum presentations. She will be joined by nearly 40 other graduate alumni for the judging. Lang and her husband committed a minimum of $1 million to establish the Patricia and Stephen Lang Support Fund at Miami to support graduate-level research, particularly for female students. Winners of the Graduate Research Forum will be announced at a later date. The top three oral presentations and top three poster presentations each receive $300 in professional development funds. Elizabeth Kiel, associate professor pf psychology, will be recognized during the forum reception with the 2019 Distinguished Teaching Award for Excellence in Graduate Instruction and Mentoring. The award, which includes $1,000 for professional expenses, is presented to a faculty member who has an impact on graduate students and demonstrates excellence in supervision of student research or professional practice and excellence in graduate classroom instruction. Kiel impacts virtually every student in the psychology graduate program through her graduate statistics and research methods course. She routinely provides statistical consultation and mentoring to graduate students on their research projects. She is a highly-sought-after faculty member on graduate student master’s and doctoral committees, having served on a total of 23 such committees, her nominators said. 2 Overall Page 324 of 334 Attachment Page 2 of 5 Academic Affairs Good News Attachment N Provost Osborne December 12, 2019 ACADEMIC AFFAIRS GOOD NEWS September 2019 – December 2019 One nominator said that since Kiel joined the department in 2010, “I have witnessed the evolution of student statistical expertise and application, with increasing complexity and sophistication of master’s level projects across all students. This has resulted in a significant increase in the average number of student publications, presentations and fellowships.” Kiel is an incredibly successful graduate mentor, another nominator said. “Her students obtain competitive pre-doctoral internships and post-doctoral positions at institutions that are consistently ranked among the top of all pediatric training sites in clinical psychology nationwide.” Kiel’s research focuses on understanding how young children and their parents influence each other over time, especially in the area of children’s anxiety development. One of her primary research projects is a longitudinal study of children and their families, beginning when children were one year of age and currently following them through the early school years. The dedication of graduate students in her research program allows for the extensive data collection required in this longitudinal study. They are the driving force behind much of the dissemination of its scholarship, according to Kiel and her nominators. Five graduate students currently work with Kiel. She has mentored three doctoral students who have earned their Ph.Ds and two who have defended their dissertations and are working on their pre-doctoral internships. Miami ranks third in the nation for study abroad among public doctoral universities Nov 18, 2019 - Miami University’s rate of study abroad for undergraduates ranks third in the U.S. among public doctoral universities, according to the latest Open Doors report released Monday, Nov. 18. Miami moved up a spot from last year’s fourth place ranking based on rate of study abroad during the 2017-2018 academic year, the Institute of International Education reports. Miami had 1,594 students earn study abroad credit out of 3,414 undergraduate degrees conferred, for a rate of 46.7%. Among all public and private universities, that places Miami 32nd. Including graduate students, the Open Doors list of total number of students who study abroad places Miami 27th nationally with 1,958 students. Karla Guinigundo, director of global partnerships for Global Initiatives at Miami, said 73 more undergraduate students studied abroad in 2017-2018 than the previous academic year. “Winter term enrollment was strong in 2018 in part due to program offerings such as a unique winter-spring term learning experience during the Winter Olympic Games held in South Korea,” led by Sooun Lee, professor of information systems and analytics, Guinigundo said. She noted 75% of Miami students who go abroad do so on faculty-led programs or through the Miami University John E. Dolibois European Center. Other top destinations for Miami students include Spain, Italy, Australia, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Belize, Peru and France. The high percentage of students traveling in faculty-led programs demonstrates an exceptional institutional commitment to study abroad, Guinigundo said. She believes having such strong faculty-led programs is one of the key reasons Miami received the 2019 Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization. “We are fortunate at Miami to have a large contingent of faculty in all academic divisions excited to lead programs abroad and staff across the institution — from academic advisers to financial aid advisers — who are committed to helping students achieve their goal of studying abroad.” Nursing online course at Miami Regionals earns national recognition Nov 14, 2019 - A popular course in the nursing program at Miami Regionals has been named Outstanding eCourse by the Instructional Technology Council. The hybrid course, “Nursing Care of Older Adults,” includes three face-to-face sessions each semester, with the rest of the material covered online. Student Liezl Romero, who is pursuing a bachelor’s degree at Miami’s Hamilton campus, said she prefers the online learning because the flexibility helps her schedule and she can retain more material. “If we miss something, we don’t have to ask the professor to repeat it,” Romero said. “The course it still pretty difficult, but the 3 Overall Page 325 of 334 Attachment Page 3 of 5 Academic Affairs Good News Attachment N Provost Osborne December 12, 2019 ACADEMIC AFFAIRS GOOD NEWS September 2019 – December 2019 content is very organized. It’s just easy to navigate.” Both Miami’s nursing programs and online presence continue to grow. Nursing expanded this semester to the Oxford campus. Currently, Miami offers more than 300 online courses in many disciplines, most of them from Miami Regionals. Nearly 4,000 students take at least one online course, and more than 700 take their courses exclusively online. There are 33 students in the nursing course developed and taught by associate professor Karen Brown. The online material was designed by Miami instructional designer Brigid Naglich. Brown includes lots of videos that pause for occasional quizzes or discussion points. Each week, students have to post in online discussions and respond to at least two other students. “What the students get is best practices,” Brown said. “They learn from each other. Constantly, students are saying, ‘I hadn’t thought about that.” Naglich’s role as instructional designer is especially important since the course content needs to engage students visually and be interactive. “Any vision I had, like ‘Oh, we should do this,’ Brigid figured out how to do it,” Brown said. Miami Regionals will officially accept the award in February at the council’s annual conference in Charleston, South Carolina. Miami’s Institute for Entrepreneurship 5th among U.S. public universities Nov 12, 2019 - The John W. Altman Institute for Entrepreneurship at Miami University is ranked 5th among public undergraduate colleges and universities in the 2020 Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine rankings. This marks the 12th consecutive year that the institute in Miami’s Farmer School of Business has been ranked in the top 10 among public U.S. undergraduate programs, and the first time it has appeared in the top five. Among public and private U.S. universities combined, Miami’s program is ranked 10th best.* “Central to the design of Miami University’s undergraduate entrepreneurship program is a belief in the transformative power of learning by doing inside and outside the classroom. What sets our program apart from others is our commitment to graduate students who are ‘job-ready, day one,’” said Tim Holcomb, institute director. The Altman Institute for Entrepreneurship has a cross-disciplinary focus that engages 2,800 students — more than 15 percent of the total undergraduate population — from every major across campus. The students learn from: Startup ecosystem partnerships that connected more than 400 business and entrepreneurship professionals with Miami students. Curricular and co-curricular programs that integrate effectively with the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Numerous opportunities to gain practical, hands-on experience, including with programs such as: o Techstars® Startup Weekend Miami o Social Innovation Weekend o World Creativity and Innovation Week o Advancing Women in Entrepreneurship o RedHawk Venture Pitch Competition o The Altman Summer Scholar Internship Program o Two student-led investment funds, RedHawk Ventures and the Social Impact Fund. “The diverse, talented faculty at Miami have crafted the right formula of academic and experiential learning to produce world- class students,” said CincyTech CEO Mike Venerable. “It's important for our success to have this asset in the Cincinnati region.” More than 1,000 students benefit each year from 19 co-curricular programs that are practice-based and immersive in design. “Creativity and problem-solving will be required for success in tomorrow’s innovative business climate,” said Greg Carmichael, chairman, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bank. “I’m excited about the success that Miami’s entrepreneurship program is experiencing in preparing students for this changing world.” Over the past decade, more than 600 Miami graduates have led 112 venture-backed companies that have raised $6.1 billion in funding in 237 venture deals, including seven ‘unicorn’ companies with $1 billion+ market valuations, said Holcomb. “Entrepreneurship requires the courage to face uncertainty, the humility to accept that failure may provide a pathway to success, and the determination to bring an idea to reality. Courage, humility and determination are difficult to teach in a classroom setting,” Wendy Lea, board director at Techstars® and former CEO at Cintrifuse, explained. “Miami’s immersive, practice-based 4 Overall Page 326 of 334 Attachment Page 4 of 5 Academic Affairs Good News Attachment N Provost Osborne December 12, 2019 ACADEMIC AFFAIRS GOOD NEWS September 2019 – December 2019 learning approach to entrepreneurial education inside and outside the classroom equips students with the mindset to think creatively and the capacity to act in ways that bring ideas to reality.” “Universities play an important role in preparing tomorrow’s entrepreneurial workforce to be innovative problem-solvers, and I’m proud to see Miami’s entrepreneurship program recognized for its efforts to train young entrepreneurs to think creatively and nurture an entrepreneurial mindset,” said Nichole Mustard (Miami ’95), chief revenue officer and co-founder of Credit Karma. "With innovation driving changes in education and industry, it's significant that students in every major at Miami have access to the entrepreneurial experience,” said Gregory Crawford, Miami’s president. “Their exposure to the creative thinking behind entrepreneurs and inventors is invaluable and ultimately contributes to the creative economy of Ohio and the nation." The Princeton Review collected more than 40 data points from a survey earlier this year. The survey asked schools to report on levels of their commitment to entrepreneurship studies inside and outside the classroom. Topics included the percentage of faculty, students, alumni actively and successfully involved in entrepreneurial endeavors, the number and reach of mentorship programs, scholarships and grants for entrepreneurial studies, and the level of support for school-sponsored business plan competitions. “The impact of Miami’s entrepreneurship program on its students and graduates is made possible by world-class faculty and staff who have an unwavering commitment to high-quality research and pedagogy that prepares graduates to meet the demands of the 21st century, combined with tremendous support from our engaged alumni and industry partners,” added Marc Rubin, dean and Mitchell P. Rales Chair in Business Leadership of the Farmer School of Business. * A school in Mexico is among the top 11 on the list. 5 Overall Page 327 of 334 Attachment Page 5 of 5 Prior Minutes Attachment O Academic and Student Affairs Committee December 12, 2019 BOARD OF TRUSTEES ROUDEBUSH HALL ROOM 212 OXFORD, OHIO 45056 (513) 529-6225 MAIN (513) 529-3911 FAX WWW.MIAMIOH.EDU BOARD OF TRUSTEES MIAMI UNIVERSITY Minutes of the Academic and Student Affairs Committee Meeting September 19, 2019, 8:00 a.m. King Library Miami University, Oxford Campus The Academic and Student Affairs Committee of the Miami University Board of Trustees met on September 19, 2019 in King Library, Room 320, on the Miami University, Oxford Campus.

The students spoke of activities, experiences, and interactions within the Miami environment. Amongst other things, they spoke of the release of yoga; mental health and wellness; the development of creativity through Interactive Media Studies; student, faculty and staff mentors; engagement with the Women’s Center, Spectrum, fellow students, and Greek Organizations; and of finding their “family” and place at Miami. The students answered questions from the Committee, who thanked them for their frank, open and informative dialogue. A report on the Miami Undergraduate Student Experience is included as Attachment B. Student Life Reports Vice President for Student Life Jayne Brownell provided an update to the Committee, stating: A new school year always brings a lot of exciting new developments and opportunities in Student Life. I’ll touch on three of those this morning. Looking first at fraternity and sorority life, we are now implementing all of the recommendations from last year’s Honoring Fraternity report. Some of those highlights for the fall term include: An expanded community scorecard, which allows students, parents and community members to compare chapters on a wide range of measures, helping them make educated decisions as they consider entering the community in the spring. A new online leadership module which all current members of the community will complete in October, and new members will take in the spring after they are initiated. The goal is to ensure that leadership education reaches all members, not just those who self-select into our leadership retreats. This fall we are welcoming 18 new live-in advisors to our fraternity community. These advisors will participate in monthly roundtables throughout the year. Additionally, the new requirements for the second year exemption have been implemented: all second-year students who are living in their fraternity facilities have a zero conduct record from 2018-2019 and achieved above a 2.75 cumulative GPA their first-year at Miami. Chapters whose new members had more than a 10% decline from their fall to spring class GPA lost their exemption. Overall Page 329 of 334 Attachment Page 2 of 6 Prior Minutes Attachment O Academic and Student Affairs Committee December 12, 2019 Last, each fraternity will also complete a new 360-member development review this fall. Intended as a positive process, this review should provide an analysis on how each member and each chapter is performing and helping identify areas of opportunity for future work. I also wanted to update you on the search for a new director in Student Activities and Fraternity and Sorority Life. We had three strong candidates on campus next week, and I hope we’ll have a decision made this week. I also wanted to highlight the changes in the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion (formerly ODA). You received a detailed report from them so I don’t want to repeat that here, but in addition to a new name, I hope you will stop by their new office space on the second floor of Armstrong and the student lounge space on the third floor. It is really beautiful space that brings together our staff that is focused on support for students of color, LGBTQ+ students, and women’s initiatives into one space for the first time. They just completed a program review this summer, so I look forward to their plans to strengthen the visibility and programming efforts of their office. Finally, the Wilks Leadership Institute was also able to move into Armstrong this year, and their increased visibility is already making a difference in their ability to collaborate with student organizations and expand their reach. They are also expanding their mission and work as they take on responsibility not just for leadership, but for promoting the value of service. Good leaders serve their organizations, communities, and our society every day. By addressing both leadership and service through the Institute's programs, we are developing leaders who will have a sense of mission and purpose, who will go on to have a positive impact in the world.

Interim Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success Brent Shock updated the Committee on the Career Fair, which has been expanded to two days. The Career Fair can now better serve the more than 4,000 students who participate each year. The second day is focused on STEM, and the new two-day format accommodated an 11% increase in students to over 4,500.
